Actually, he looks like he might have swallowed a Furby, (you know, those toys that were all the rage in the 90’s, ennyboddee rember?) Anyhow, he looks liek he rlly needez some TLC stat; C’mon babbeh Bun-bun: hop on my lap and I’ll read you some Tales of Peter Rabbit, or wutevver you prefurr, mebbee Bugs Bunny?

@cheshirekittehcat, my children had Furbies in the 90’s …. used to scare the bejaysus out of us all in the middle of the night because they’d wake up and start talking – the Furbies, not the children. In the end, my son taped his furby’s eyes and beak shut and turned it upside down in the wardrobe because it was the only way to shut it up. One of his friends was adamant that his arrived in his Christmas stocking knowing all sorts of swearwords.

OMG. at first glace I thought those two black spots were his eyes, then I thought nooo, his eyes are up? OMG, he has ears coming out his eyes! So which is it? Its got me kinda freaked out. But either way he’s really fuzzy and cute :).

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought Furby. I thought zee spots were eyes and was a little frightened by the odd looking creature. But it’s just a disapproving bunneh – way less intimidating than Furbys (but don’t tell the bunnehs)

Poland is always (was always) has(d) a long history of being over run, overwhelmed, subjugated, and thoroughly trounced through the ages. It is a meta-phor for, oh,m you get the idea….yeah, in the grand scheme of things.

@Katrina: yeah, I’m right there with you about the Poland thing, being (barely) a first gen American of Polish parents.

When I saw Prong’s post, I put together the reference to the ‘stache, the question whether he’s a nice bun and the hovertext to mean that the first name Prongs thought of was, in fact, Hitler. (And before anyone thinks I’m nuffing, I’m not – I love the post!)

I just want to know if I’m missing some more subtle reference to something else, ya know?

The vicious facial expression on this snow white cotton puff with the SERIOUSLY smeared mascara, brings me to remember one of the very wonderfullest scenes, from one of the early Pink Panther films (w/ the also wonderful Peter Sellers) ……

Inspecteur Clouseau sees a dog while walking on the sidewalk. He asks the person next to the dog “Does your dogue baaat?”
(translation of the Clouseauism = “does your dog bite?”)

I remember long ago when I was a kid, these drawing/paintings of these really sad, sad little children with gigantic eyes. They were always betrayed as kind of ragged looking and maybe sitting in alleys or something. Bun reminds me of those drawings.
